i had a decent experience with them. Roy was really helpful and even hooked me up with some stands at a good price. if you need anything its best to order it through their site and go pick it up that way you dont go there and waste gas just to place orders. they get things pretty quick, i ordered my stands on weds got them on friday. as for their service dept, is pretty good i mean they have a 2 month wait period for anything that needs to be done.

Good:
prices if you shop for it yourself through their catalog.
pretty helpful guys, answer your question without any BS
willing to give you competitive pricing

Bad:
very little stock in store
long wait to get stuff done on bike
certain things are expensive (you should shop yourself.)

overall its a great local shop, WCW is a ride for me so if i need anything i just call up Roy tell him what i need and i get it in a few days.

I go there for tires and mounting/balancing. They have good tire prices and good prices to mount and balance if you bring in your wheels off the bike. They use a pneumatic tire machine. Haven't used them for anything else.

I would stay away from them at all costs. I had some issues with a motor rebuild I had done....cause my first track day with the bike was three months after I got the motor worked on....and he wouldn't warranty the work. Long story short...I had a slight oil leak from a valve cover gasket that was not installed correctly....I ended up fixing it myself.....but not the kinda service one expects after dropping $2000 to get a motor "professionaly" rebuilt.

I say take your business somewhere else. IMO.
